More important than the tips and
„ix wns of stocks is the steady up-
ward march of scientific discovery.
One man at Johns Hopkins, after
working for years, has discovered a
new particular vitamin. He calls It
"vitamin D" that builds up bone.
That discovery may put an end to
the diseaso railed rickets that kills
thousands of children and makes
others miserable cripples through
life.
English scientists believe they will
boon bring about disintegration of
the atom. Jf man can pull the atom
to pieces, be can harness up the
power that holds the electrons to-
gether with a force Inconceivable to
us.
Remember it is no Jules Verne,
but a trained scientist who suggests
that with tho disintegration of the
atom man could create and carry
with him "atomic units," with power
enough to move a great steamship
across the ocean.
We live on a driving wheel, the
earth, and our problem ih how to
harness up the power In that wheel
twenty-five thousand miles round,
Instead of building little separate
engines on the surface of the wheel.
California does things rapidly.
Frank Vanderlip had 16,000 acres
running fourteen miles along the
Pacific ocean. Just southwest of Los
Angeles. He used It for vegetable
gardening until E. G. Lewis saw it.
and saw in place of vegetable gar-
dens a elty of white marble and red-
tiled roof*. Before long, as you fly
above the Pacific, near San Fran-
cisco. you will see that city a reality.
They did It in the days of Alad-
din by rubbing a lamp and summon-
ing genii. They do It now differ-
ently. but almost as quickly. The
modern lamp Is a combination of en-
terprise and advertising. E. O. Lewis
needed fifteen million dollars to start
his city. He printed one eight-page
advertisement In the Los Angeles
Examiner, then a four-page adver-
tisement. then page after page regu-
larly for three rnonthB. Now the Title
and Trust company announces that
the fifteen millions are subscribed
and the California city can start.
The people of Los Angeles say
their city will be third In the United
States In 1950. You only wonder at
their moderation. Given a good idea,
a good location, plenty of courage
and good advertising, you can do
anything in America.
Could anything be more useless,
more wasteful of scientific, knowl-
edge than a "sland transplantation
to renew an old man's vitality," un-
less the operation also restored
youth to the MIND?
Nothing could be more pitiful or
objectionable than a collection of old
men with active bodies and dull
raindH. Like concrete, the mind
hardens with age, new Ideas cannot
penetrate it. The best thing a man
can do Is to die when the brain be-
comes hardened, get a new brain,
and come hack here ugaln To keep
old solidified brains alive in active
'vital" young bodies would be an In-
sult to Providence and a thwarting
of its plans, and It Is not likely that
that will be allowed.
Kxpiu ....an because "tho
world * i oni be all explored,
uothiug mol t tu discover." Climbers,
within a few hundred feet of the top
of Mount Everest, will probably
reach the top. Th n only our Alas-
kan Mount McKinley will remain
uncouquered.

places. Then the north and south

Hut the:# Is work left for the dis-
coverer. There are mines under the
waters more valuable, probably, than
any ever found on land. There are
oil wells under the ocean, below the
sa'.t water.
And, after all. exploring on this
oartli is only tho beginning. The
earth Is our little back yard. The

HOW STRANGLER LEWIS PUTS 'EM ON THE MAT
Strangler Lewis. heavyweight
wrestler champ, has been considered
as the master of the headlock and
has probably attained his present po-
sition In tho wrestling world through
its use, but in the match with Dick
Daviscourt at the Western League
ball park Thursday night, he will
meet another wrestler who knows
that deadly hold aud uses It.
Lewis does not depend upon the
headlock alone to force opponents to
the mat. and his strength and speed
enable him to down tho ordinary op-
ponent by using the usual holds.

Coast Boy Has Fought Num-
ber of Tough Pugs.
Willie Meehnn, tho coast heavy
champion, who is scheduled to tanglo
with Illlly Allske, on the Drovers'
Athletic club card July 3. went
through a strenuous workout Mon-
day.
If he can get suitable sparring
partners he will add to the truinlng
program, be has announced. The
"roly-poly" boy. as he ih known on
tho coast, says be has no fears or the
Miske person with whom he will go
tho ten round route.
Mechan has fought Dempsey three
times, Fred Fulton twice, Harry
Wills. Hilly Miske. Sammy Langford,
the Boston "tar baby" and Jack Dil-
lon.
Meehan weathered this row of
tough boys without even kissing the
canvas. He has never been knocked
out. he says.
Jack Dempsey will appear in
four-round exhibition bout on the
same program which will be hold at
the Stockyards Coliseum. Some good
preliminaries have been arranged be-
tween fighters whose ability has been
tested in bouts arranged by the Okla-
homa Athlotlc club.
With several cjuiinpioiiship
matches on tho cards and others In
the making the boxing fans will
have plenty of food for gossip during
the next few months. Benny Leon-
ard. champion lightweight of tho
world, has. the edge at prevent with

Ing down last place, is less than 200
points away from the top. The
Yankees started out well enough on
their road trip, winning five out of
their first six games—then they blew.
The Giants, after a road trip which
jeopardized their lead in the National,
seem to be making It all up on their
home lot, although their pitching
could be Improved considerably.

The Admiring Admission That ( un. J
From Allen Drake.
For a swift resentful second aftefl
Allen Drake's query I felt like pick-*
lng up the papers on which were tha
cuneiform character or, rather, por«
tions of them—which I had recog*
nlzed, and flinging them at his hca<l4
with a passionate refusal to on any*
thing more concerning the matter.
Then, as I noticed the expression oj
his tired eyes, I realized that the em«
pbasis which had offended me wag
unintentional.
"WILL you tell me." he had askedf
"how in the name of all that's won*
dorful YOlT are able to recogniza
them?"
But though the words and empha-*
sis were slurring, I saw In his face
and eyes that he had no thought oC
belittling me. There was a very na«
tural astonishment, of course, but be*
sides that. I saw distinct admiration
and something more, a swift, revive
lng hope which, it was plain, de«
pended upon me alone.
There was something unusually
pathetic, appealing in the aspect ofi
this man whom I had never seen in
any other guise than that of a bril-
liant. rather lordly man-of-the*
world. He was now, I told myself,
with a whimsical recollection of my
teaching days, very much like a
child who faces failure In his final
examinations, and then sees a faint}
hope of the catastrophe b e 1 n x
averted. And there was no mistaking
the need in the eyes looking into
mine.
Always I had regarded Allen
Drake as a being so wrapped In hia
own self-esteem that most human
contacts bored him. But all at onca
I saw that beneath his blase, Indo*
lent mask, he was like most other!
men, craving the aid, the sympathy
of a woman near to him in kinship
or affection when a crisis came.
A Little Explanation.
I believe if men would tell thfl
truth, the hardest of them never gefi
over the instinctive longing flgur*
atlvely to "run to mother" when
they are hurt. And I am very cer*
tain that the surest way to secura
a woman's interest is to arouse hen
maternal instinct. At any rate, when
I saw that appealing look in Allen
Drake's eyes, I reflected that ac*
cording to my father's statement,
there was no woman alive of bla
blood, none to whom he was linked
by any ties of affection. And I felt}
a thrill of pity for his loneliness, ;i«
sudden fierce desire to aid him,
which surprised my usually placi(|
pulses..
My father saved me the necessity
of explanation.
"In her girlhood." he said, "my
daughter took great interest in the
study of these early Inscriptions, and
she had the advantage of being as*
sociated for a time with a man who
was a master in that line, Prof. Sev*
erance—"
"Severance!" Allen Drake inter*
rupted, and I was feminine enough
to enjoy the somewhat awed look ha
gave me. "Why he was one of tha
big sharks in the sea!"
Madge im Embarrassed.
"Exactly so." my father returned,
and he gave Margaret much valuable
aid. as well as bequeathing her soma
of his notebooks and a part of hig
technical library."
"Then," Mr. Drake turned to me,
eagerly, and before my eyes he waa
man transformed, his fatigue
vanished, his eyea
close
TECHNICAL FOUL
Gene Tunuey, from whom he won
the title. Jack Dempsey, daddy hf
all the flstic artists, is petting ready
for two or three bouts, which at
present are in the making.
Tex Rickard, who promoted the
Dempsey-Carpentler match and other
big events, says the days of big
purses (meaning quarter and half
million pots) are over, that in the
future the stars of the fistic game
must take a chance with him or look
for some other promoter to hand
them all the gravy. It Is about tlmo
that Mr. Rickard came to that con-
clusion. There is no reason why the
champions and others should not
take a chance on a percentage basis.
